Upper axial retention for a cascade-type thrust reverser with sliding vanes of D-shaped structure
A nacelle for use in an aircraft having a turbojet engine (the turbojet engine including a fan casing and a suspension pylon) includes a D-shaped structure downstream section embedding a thrust reverser device. The D-shaped structure downstream section includes a movable cascades vane. The D-shaped structure downstream section also includes two D-shaped half-structures each having an outer half-cowl movable in translation along a longitudinal axis, a connector between the cascades vane and the outer half-cowl, a twelve o'clock half-bifurcation, an inner half-structure defining an inner portion of the annular flow path, and a twelve o'clock half-beam mounted on the twelve o'clock half-bifurcation articulated on the pylon. The nacelle further includes an axial retention device of the downstream section of the nacelle, relative to the turbojet engine, configured to provide a connection defining an axial retention between the twelve o'clock half-beam and a fixed element of the fan casing.

Aircraft jet engine nacelle, propulsion assembly and aircraft comprising such a nacelle
A nacelle for an aircraft turbofan includes a rear section including a thrust reversal device having an upper door and a lower door, the upper and lower doors being mobile in rotation between a stowed position in which they are aerodynamically continuous with the rest of the nacelle and a deployed position in which the upper and lower doors are able to redirect forward the core and bypass flows produced by the jet engine, each door being moved from one position to the other by at least one dedicated actuator. The opening angle (X) of the upper door in the deployed position is smaller than the opening angle (Y) of the lower door.
BYPASS TURBOMACHINE FOR AN AIRCRAFT
The invention relates to a bypass turbomachine (2) for an aircraft, comprising a gas generator (5) and a ducted fan (4) comprising variable pitch blades (18) configured to take a reverse thrust position driving a reverse flow (24) of air within a secondary duct (16), the gas generator (5) being connected to a fan casing (3) by a stator blade assembly (40) that passes through the secondary duct, first openings (28) for letting in air from the reverse flow being located on an outer casing (17) at least partially internally delimiting the outer duct, and second openings (29) for letting said air out being located on an inner casing (14) at least partially externally delimiting an inner duct (12). The first openings are located within a plane that is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis (C) of the turbomachine and passes substantially through the middle of the blade assembly.

NACELLE FOR AN AIRCRAFT PROPULSION ASSEMBLY COMPRISING A FLAP FOR CLOSING A RECESS FOR THE PASSAGE OF AN ACTUATOR
A nacelle for an aircraft propulsion assembly includes an actuator, a secondary door subject to the actuator and contributing to defining an external aerodynamic surface of the nacelle in a first position, a main door contributing to defining the external aerodynamic surface and including a recess that the actuator passes through in a deployed position but not in a retracted position, and a flap connected to the main door. The flap is movable between a closed position wherein the flap closes off at least a first region of the recess through which the actuator passes in the deployed position whereby the flap contributes to defining the external aerodynamic surface, and an open position wherein the flap is moved away from the recess so as to clear the passage for the actuator through the first region of the recess.
